Special Emphasis Sermons
Nov 19, 2008 in Church, General Christian, Preaching
The holidays are here and that means plenty of opportunities to focus the topics of your sermons on things seasonal. Do you?
I avoid sermons based on holidays like the plague - no Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, 4th of July, etc. I just think that you can only say so much in a sermon aimed at a holiday before you begin to repeat yourself the next year or two. Then you have to fight to be original.
The exception? For me, Easter and Christmas. In fact, I do Advent. Four sermons targeted at the coming of Christ and what it reveals about God and it starts next week, the 30th of November.
Am I schizophrenic, or is there a method to the madness?
What about you?
